They should go out to friends and family surely, and not as an obligation to avoid being talked about?

Re: Christmas.
I like to have all my Christmas shopping (Online and High Street) done by the end of November. Then I can visit various local towns using my pass on the local charabanc and enjoy the festive lights and sounds and then partake of a modest repast with a glass on wine whilst watching the last minute lemmings scurrying hither and thither.‘Tis the way Christmas should be.

I wouldn't know what to be buying for them now so I just give them a few quid to get what they want themselves, same with the wife this year, I'm at a loss for what to get her so she can get what she wants herself, I think most granddads get out of the hassle of shopping that way, I hate shopping, especially at this time of year.
